Why pay anything ....... just supply an NHS Credit/Debit Card for Living Work Costs/Expenses? IT would allow for a very Transparent Mutual Mentoring and Monitoring and Responsible Behaviour with Service Excellence permitting Added Credits.

Or is the idea that everyone gets rich for just doing what they do best or being employed?

@Red Sky Thinking

Uh oh, AMFM sounds lucid again. Time for a coldboot where IT matters, perhaps? Better yet, send him to the States as a political adviser. Booyah! (And now you expect a witty summary re: Blue v. Red thinking? Here?! Naah, someone else already said IT wisely: "All seemed well pleased, all seemed but were not all.")

The Media At Its Best

"At last, they are offering a salary that matches what most NHS managers are worth.

Perhaps they can use the money they are saving to pay some doctors and nurses decent wages."

^ Now there is someone who knows very little about the NHS if they think the Doctors and Nurses should get more pay. They get paid too much as it is, don't believe the media hype that they are hard done by, Because they certainly aren't.
